Is invoicing making you scream? Between 10-20% of electrical contracting jobs are not invoiced properly, according to some industry estimates

摘要

Few electrical contractors would say that invoicing is a 'strong point' in their broad range of skills. Paperwork entries, particularly clerical-style records of jobs performed, materials used and time spent on tasks, are usually 'estimated' from memory at the end of a busy working day or week - or, in some cases, month! During busy periods when electricians are handling heavy workloads and wildly varied jobs, it is easy to understand how a company's warehouse, storage shed or van might become depleted, even though there are no invoice trails to explain where the missing items were used. After all, how can a sparkie keep track of every length of cable or fitting installed at every job?
